听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

不知道大家是否了解，在中国，这个冬天，热带的海南三亚遇到了一个强劲的竞争对手，那就是东北的哈尔滨。

哈尔滨宏大壮丽的冰雪节，吸引了全国各地的游客争相前往游玩。这其中，南方的朋友们被亲切地称呼为“南方小土豆”。他们穿羽绒服的可爱样子，在大家眼中就像是胖乎乎的“小土豆”，在哈尔滨受到了极其热情的欢迎。

哈尔滨人的热情，让游客们赞不绝口，火遍了中国的互联网。没有见过雪的“南方小土豆”们满足了心愿，哈尔滨人的盛情款待，也使得哈尔滨的城市形象大大提高了。

媒体说，这真是一场双向奔赴，互相成就呀。

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。

Learning Japanese (JLPT N5)- 1st lesson - PART 01

How long do you want a movie to last? When do you start looking at your watch and wonder when you can leave the darkness of the cinema?

Or maybe it doesn't matter because you watch everything on streaming services, and you can pause anytime you like.

But according to a survey from the US, the perfect movie length is 92 minutes — about the same as a soccer match.

A polling company called Talker Research asked 2,000 people how long movies should be.

Only about 2% said they thought movies should be longer than two and a half hours, while just 15% want to watch a movie that's more than two hours long.

Movies like Dodgeball, Kung Fu Panda and Toy Story 2 are all about 92 minutes long.

But data suggests that the most popular movies are getting longer and longer.

A website called What to Watch found that the average length of the most successful movies has increased from 110 minutes in 1981 to 141 minutes in 2022.

The Guardian reports that nine out of the top 10 most successful films of all time are longer than two hours. Three of them are longer than three hours.

However, some say it's not the length of the film that's important, but how good it is.

There are really long films that feel much shorter because they're so interesting, and there are shorter movies that you wish would just end fast!
